A Windows hook is fairly dark magic and essentially involves adding a link into the chain of events whenever something significant occurs within Windows -- mostly to do with the Windows messages which are passed around between apps and by the O/S. You really need to be sure you know what you're doing before you launch out. There's a useful-looking post here explaining how to determine whether the Caps Lock is on or off: http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2006/03/29/562606.aspx but, frankly, except as a learning exercise, I think you're trying to do something which is messy in the extreme and far more fiddly than perhaps it appears from the human perspective. I fully expect you now to go ahead, do it easily and prove me wrong! (In which case, we want a good write-up).
